Data

These data are associated with occurrences of nine-banded armadillos across the United States. There are associated biological and environmental variables associated with some of the occurrence data. These were used for a species distribution model.

This dataset includes all research conducted on moose health in New York State from 2021 to 2024. Files include detection histories of moose and other species from camera surveys conducted in the northern Adirondack Park, transect surveys conducted for deer pellet collection and analysis of parasite infection status, and step length measurements of GPS-collared moose. Other files and...

This dataset includes information on detections of Bachman's Sparrow, Northern Bobwhite, and Red-cockaded Woodpecker at 161 locations in Georgia, USA. In addition to detections of birds and corresponding detection covariates (date, time, temperature, and observer), habitat metrics derived from satellite imagery and on-the-ground vegetation measurements are included.

We hypothesized that bighorn sheep ewes with chronic nasal Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae carriage are the source of infection that results in fatal lamb pneumonia. We tested this hypothesis in captive bighorn ewes at two study facilities over a 5-year period, by identifying carrier ewes and then comparing lamb fates in groups that did (exposed pens) or did not (non-exposed pens) include one...

Natural history museum records may provide unique information on the distribution of species additional to survey data collected by resource managers. However, there can be challenges to using museum data for analyses such as spurious geographic information, misidentifications, and incorrect labeling. Museum records have been centralized by open-source repositories with flags for...

Data are found in two separate *.csv files. File 1 contains the data and file 2, the sampling site coordinates. The data describes the results of water quality measurements in the Jim Bertram Lake System, an impounded urban stream system in Lubbock, Texas. Measurements were taken from October 2021 through October 2023.

We implemented an online survey questionnaire for adult Massachusetts licensed hunters in December 2022-February 2023 using the Qualtrics survey platform (Qualtrics, Provo, UT). The online survey covers a number of topics related to chronic wasting disease (CWD) such as knowledge, risk perception, management acceptability, hunting behavior, channel use, and trust in different sources. Of...

We quantified the effects of dam sediment management operations on downstream salmonid spawning habitat during two fall water-level drawdown periods: an experimental drawdown leading to sediment release or a typical slower drawdown intended to minimize release of sediment. The experimental drawdown increased deposited fine sediment and decreased hyporheic dissolved oxygen levels. However...

Catfishes are opportunistic feeders that are among the world's worst invasive species. Flathead catfish *Pylodictus olivaris* -- a large predatory catfish -- were first detected in the Susquehanna River, Pennsylvania, USA in 2002. Since then, they established a viable and rapidly growing population that is expanding its range throughout the river system. Although the predatory effects of...

There are 9 datasets. one distance sampling dataset, 4 resource selection datasets, and 4 outputs from bootstrapped resource selection models the use the estimated correction factor. The 4 resource selection datasets have data that can be used in a binomial generalized linear mixed effect model to create the correction factor. The distance sampling data set is used to estimate density...

Understanding the impacts of landscape change on species distributions can help inform decision-making and conservation planning. Unfortunately, empirical data that span large spatial extents across multiple taxa are limited. In this study, we used expert elicitation techniques to develop species distribution models (SDMs) for harvested wildlife species (n = 10) in the New England region...

This repository contains all of the scripts to reproduce the analyses, figures, and tables associated with the manuscript Gordon et al. in prep. There is 1 R script that does the following: (1) format the data, (2) explores the data, and (3) goes through the analyses for each objective.
